Nao Kazami breaks the 100k record on the road and bested the current road 100k World record of 6:13:33 set on the same course 20 years ago and also breaking Don Ritchie's 1978 track record of 6:10:20 by running 6:09:14. There is some controversy as this was a road course and Ritchie set his on the track but regardless it was a fast run. Woudl be interesting to see what Yuki Could do on this course.

Do maximal shoes increase the chance of injury - results are not conclusive but I do know that if they are too soft for me they create some issues in the forefoot. The other issue is the thicker they are the less the foot flexes as it should and that may be an issue long term. Bottom line if they work for you great but the long term affect is not known. Also wonder the difference between how they affect fast runners and those that are slower as usualy the forces and foot strike are different. Most testing seems to be done with faster people but the majority of shoes are work by the every day runner so would be interesting to see testing done on regular people.
Not all race reports have to come from a race you finish as often we can learn as much from a DNF as a finish. Jospeh Fuller shares about his Mohican 100 which was cut short at 54.3 due to hyperextending his foot.

Always cool to see the new shoes that will, or in some cases "are", available. iRunFar.com looks at Best New Trail Shoes for Fall/Winer 2018 - I have heard that there may be some new Topo trail shoes not listed for later in the year. By the way I do have a pair of the new Ultrafly 2 listed in the article and they are comfy and while I would like them to be a little more locked down most of that is due to my weird low volume feet. Also, if you like a more minimal shoe do not forget Carson Footwear as they do not get the press that others get as they do not come out with new shoes over and over.
